We asked parents of Thomas & Friends fans which episode or movie their kids love the most—and more than 1,400 of you answered! Here, we reveal the top five favorites:

1. And the winner is…Day of the Diesels!

When a fire breaks out on the Island of Sodor, two new firefighting engines named Flynn and Belle join Thomas and Percy to help save the day!

What you said: “Nothing can top Day of the Diesels! My four-year-old, who has autism, watches it as soon as he gets home from school. And having a DVD player in my van is a dream come true for him because he can watch it on the go, too!” —Erin

2. The Great Race

When the best engines from around the world gather to compete in The Great Railway Show, Gordon is chosen over Thomas to represent Sodor. But when something goes terribly wrong and Gordon is in danger, Thomas hurries to help!

What you said: “Both my boys love The Great Race—especially the ‘Streamlining’ song! They ‘whoosh’ along to it and my youngest's first words were even ‘Toot toot!’” —Maria

4. Misty Island Rescue

When Thomas helps a friend in need, he sets off for exciting trip to the Mainland. But he gets lost at sea and finds himself on the mysterious Misty Island, where he meets new friends Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand.

What you said: “My daughter loves Misty Island Rescue! She watches it at least once a day!” —Jennifer
